8544intro.fm General Information

Section 2 General Information

2.1 Instrument Description

The instrument is designed to automatically collect and preserve samples

from a liquid source. The sampler is suitable for collection of conventional and

toxic pollutants and suspended solids.

The sampler collects samples on either a timed cycle basis, or in proportion to

flow when used in conjunction with a flow meter (flow meter connected to the

auxiliary connector). In the timed cycle mode, the interval between samples is

controlled by an integral quartz crystal clock. The sample interval may be set

from 1 to 9999 minutes, in one minute increments.

In the flow proportional mode, via an external flow meter, the interval between

samples may be set from 1 to 9999 flow pulses, in one pulse increments.

where each pulse represents a specific flow volume interval.

The number of minutes or flow intervals remaining unit the next sample is

shown on the control display. The program can be delayed by entering the

desired starting time and date on the sampler keypad.

The sampler utilizes a high speed peristaltic pump, for collection of the

sample liquid. The pump body is constructed of impact and corrosion

resistant plastic. Tubing is held firmly in place by the pump body haves-no

clamps are required. The intake line is air purged before and after each

sample. The duration of the pre and post sample purge automatically

compensates for different intake line lengths. The pump tubing is 0.95 cm

(3/8

in.) ID X 0.32 cm (1/8 in.) wall medical grade silicone rubber. Although

the pump is capable of vertical lifts up to 8.2 m (27 ft), lifts greater than 6.7 m

(22 ft) are not recommended unless the Remote Pump option is utilized. The

pump produces a sample transport velocity of 1 mps (3.3 fps) at 1 m (3 ft)

vertical lift. The sample is under pumped flow at all times from the source

stream to the sample container, thereby keeping solids in suspension.

2.2 Interface Connectors

The interface connectors are located on the left side of the controller housing.

The sampler comes standard with two interface receptacles:

• 12 V dc (Power Input)

• Auxiliary (Multi-purpose input/output port)

2.2.1 Receptacle Caps

Interface receptacles are covered with push-on receptacle caps. These caps

protect the connector pins from dirt and moisture and should be attached to

any receptacle not in use.

Figure 1 Interface Connectors

2.3 Front Panel

The front panel consists of the keypad, liquid crystal display, and the internal

case humidity indicator (

Figure 2).

2.3.1 Keypad and Display

The sampler controller is equipped with a 24 character alphanumeric liquid

crystal display which automatically steps the user through the program

settings.

2.3.2 Humidity Indicator

The internal case humidity indicator (Cat. No. 2660) turns pink when the

internal case humidity exceeds 60 percent.

The sampler is equipped with an internal desiccant module (Cat. No. 8849) to

absorb any humidity trapped in the case during final assembly. Under normal

operating conditions, this desiccant provides long-term protection against

condensed moisture inside the case.

Replacement of the internal desiccant module is only necessary if the

indicator turns pink. See to

section 5.8 on page 35 for details.

2.4.4 Confined Space Entry

Important Note: The following information is provided to guide users of 900

Composite Samplers on the dangers and risks associated with entry into confined

spaces.

On April 15, 1993, OSHA's final ruling on CFR 1910.146, Permit Required

Confined Spaces, became law. This new standard directly affects more than

250,000 industrial sites in the United States and was created to protect the

health and safety of workers in confined spaces.

Page 12

Safety Information

8544intro.fm

Section 2

2.4.5 Definition of Confined Space

A Confined Space is any location or enclosure that presents or has the

immediate potential to present one or more of the following conditions:

• An atmosphere with less than 19.5% or greater than 23.5% oxygen

and/or more than 10 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide (H

• An atmosphere that may be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors,

mists, dusts, or fibers

• Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation, could result in injury,

impairment of health, or death

Confined spaces are not designed for human occupancy. They have restricted

entry and contain known or potential hazards.

Examples of confined spaces include manholes, stacks, pipes, vats, switch

vaults, and other similar locations.

Standard safety procedures must always be followed prior to entry into

confined spaces and/or locations where hazardous gases, vapors, mists,

dusts, or fibers may be present.

Before entering any confined space check with your employer for procedures

related to confined space entry.

Section 3 Installation

DANGER

Only qualified personnel should conduct the installation tasks described in this

section of the manual

3.1 Unpacking the Instrument

Remove the sampler from the shipping carton and inspect it for any damage.

Contact Hach Customer Service at 1-800-227-4224 if any items are missing

or damaged.

3.2 Selecting the Installation Site

The sampler is completely self-contained and may be located indoors or

outdoors without protection, between 0 to 50 °C (32 to 120 °F). Follow the

guidelines below and

Figure 3 to allow complete drainage of the intake line

and prevent cross-contamination between samples.

• Install the sampler as close to the source as site conditions permit. This

will increase pump tube life and optimize overall sampler performance.

• Mount the sampler to a stable flat surface using the wall mounting

bracket, Cat. No. 3596 (

Figure 4).

• Install the sampler above the sample source, with the intake tubing

sloping downward to the sample.

• Make sure the tubing is free of kinks or loops.

Figure 3 Placement of the Sampler

1. Slope tubing down to source (no loops, kinks, or excess tubing).

2. Locate strainer in an area of turbulent and well-mixed flow.

Mounting the Sampler

8544install.fm

Section 3

Figure 4 Wall Mount Bracket

3.3 Mounting the Sampler

Attach the wall mount bracket to a stable panel or wall (Figure 4). Mount the

bracket so the sample display and keypad are easily accessible. Mount the

sampler to the wall bracket using the four screws provided.

3.4 Attaching the Intake Line

3.4.1 Vinyl Intake Tubing

1. Push one end of the clear flexible PVC (vinyl) tube to the tapered end of

the intake strainer, until the tube is within 0.635 cm (¼ in.) of the solid

white Teflon strainer body.

2. Push the other end of the vinyl tube on to the stainless steel fitting

connector end that points away from the pump control housing.

3.4.2 Teflon-Lined Polyethylene Intake Line

The Connection Kit for Teflon-lined Tubing (Cat. No. 2186) contains two

identical assemblies, one for connecting the Teflon-lined tubing to the

stainless steel tubing connector and the other for connecting the intake

strainer.

1. Place the stainless steel hose clamp over the stainless steel fitting until it

abuts the shoulder of the tubing connector. Secure with a tubing clamp.

2. Push the stainless steel fitting into the Teflon-lined tubing until it abuts the

shoulder of the stainless steel fitting.

3. Slide the stainless steel hose clamp over the silicone tubing, then push

the silicone tubing over the stainless steel fitting on the liquid sensor.

Section 3

Page 15

8544install.fm Setting Up the Intake Line and Strainer

4. Slide the tubing clamp over the silicone tubing until it is over the stainless

steel fitting on the liquid sensor. Tighten to secure.

5. Repeat the procedure for the intake strainer.

3.5 Setting Up the Intake Line and Strainer

For each sampling location, the intake line should be as short as practical,

and be free of any sharp bends, coils, or loops. Install the intake line with a

downward slope from the sampler to the sample source because:

• This will assure the complete drainage of the intake line when it is air-

purged before and after each sample, and will help to prevent cross-

contamination of the individual samples.

• Complete drainage is important in freezing conditions, as any liquid slugs

that remain could freeze and plug the line.

Place the sample intake and strainer in the mainstream of the sampling

source, in an area of turbulent and well-mixed flow.

Also, take in account the vertical location of the intake. A position too near the

surface may yield excess lighter materials, while a position too near the

bottom may yield excess heavy materials. The constituents of interest must

be considered when positioning the intake strainer.

3.6 Choosing Bottles

A broad range of bottle configurations are available for the 900 Composite

Sampler. Refer to

3.7 Installing the Full Bottle Shut-Off

Install the optional full bottle shut-off into the bottle cap using the attached

rubber grommet. Install the full bottle shut-off connector to the mating plug

which is attached tot he sampler back panel. Insert the sample tubing into the

cap of the bottle.

3.8 Power Connections

The sampler controller operated on 12 V dc which is supplied by an optional

ac/dc power converter and/or battery.

Note: Make sure both rubber hold-

downs are attached to the clips at

each end of the power supply.

The power supply (or battery) is placed in the compartment located directly

behind the controller. Pull the rubber hold-downs up and over the clips at each

end of the power supply (or battery) to hold it in place.

The short 2-pin cable on the power supply (or battery) connects the controller

receptacle labeled 12 V dc.

Batteries available from the manufacturer include a lead-acid gel battery, and

nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) battery (Cat. No. 1416). The 120 V ac to 12 V dc

power converter (Cat. No. 1440) includes a built-in lead-acid battery charger.

The Power Converter (Cat. No. 1443) contains a charger for Ni-Cad batteries.

230 V ac and 12 V dc power converters (Cat. No. 1441) are also available but

do not come equipped with a built-in battery charger. Stand-alone, wall mount

chargers are also available. See APPENDIX for details on batteries and

battery charging.

Important: Whenever electricity is present, there is a possibility of electrical

shock. Before connecting the sampler to an ac power source, the following

safety precautions should be taken:

• Check the power source to make sure that it satisfies the ac power

requirements of the sampler.

• Make sure that all electrical installations and connections are in

accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Section 3

Page 17

8544install.fm 12 V dc

• Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the sampler from the

power source.

• Do not attempt to make any connection or otherwise handle the electrical

components of the sampler when connected to ac line power if the

immediate area is wet, or if hands or clothing are wet.

• If the circuit breaker or fuse in the ac power source is tripped, determine

the cause before restoring power to the sampler.

• Make sure the power circuit is grounded and protected with a Ground

Fault Interrupter (GFI).

3.9 12 V dc

This connection is for supplying power to the sampler controller electronics.

Power is normally supplied to the sampler controller electronics from either a

battery or a power supply located in the pocket directly behind the sampler

controller housing.

In the event of a power outage, an optional 12 V dc battery backup is available

(Cat. No. 1803). This power backup maintains power to the sampler when ac

power fails.

3.10 Auxiliary Connection

The auxiliary interface connector is a general purpose input/output port. Each

signal is described in

With the sampler is in Flow Proportional mode and connected to an

external flow meter, a 5 to 12 V dc input pulse lasting at least 25

milliseconds will cause the sampler to decrement one count. The

sampler is capable of accumulating from 1 to 9999 input pulses.

The 12 V dc line found on Pin A can be used directly with a simple

contact closure to Pin C or an external 5 to 12 V dc pulse may be

applied providing the ground side of the external signal is connected

to the sampler ground at Pin B. This count is actuated at the

beginning of the input signal (the leading edge of the pulse).

8544install.fm

Section 3

Contact Closures

The sampler controller is capable of accumulating 1 to 9999 contact closures.

Each contact closure output from a flow meter represents a specific flow

volume.

Note: The sampler provides 12 V dc

on Pin A of the Auxiliary Receptacle

and this voltage is pulsed back to

Pin C each time the contact closes

on the external flow meter. The

external flow meter must provide a

dry contact closure.

Some flow meters have an adjustable output, i.e. one contact closure for

every 100, 500, 1000, 10, 000 gallons of flow, etc., while others have a fixed

output. In either case, the contact closure signal is sent more frequently for

high flow rates, and less frequently for low flow rates. The sample frequency

will increase as the flow rate increases and likewise, will decrease as the rate

of flow decreases, thus taking samples in proportion to flow rate.

To connect the sampler to a flow meter, use Signal Cable (Cat. No. 940 or

540). To connect another brand of flow meter, use the Open-ended Signal

Cable (Cat. No. 941 or 541). A contact closure input signal corresponds to

Pins A and C on the Flow Meter/Auxiliary receptacle, and signal cable

connector. The signal cable wires are white and yellow respectively. Polarity is

not important unless the same closure signal is sent to more than one

sampler.

Note: Older model 4–20 mA

interfaces (Cat. No. 913) require

correct loop polarity to properly

work. The newer generation

(Cat. No. 2020 series) interfaces are

not sensitive to loop polarity.

An optional interface unit is available (Cat. No. 2021) which converts a

4–20 mA flow meter output into a 12 V dc pulses. At 20 mA (100% flow rate),

the interface sends ten pulses per minute; at 4 mA (0% flow rate), the

interface sends zero pulses.

The interface has a 0.9 m (3 ft) cable with connector on one end, and a 3 m

(10 ft) cable with two open wire leads on the other. Insert the connector into

the sampler receptacle labeled “AUXILIARY”, located on the left side of the

control housing. For the 3 m (10 ft) cable, the wire with clear insulation is

POSITIVE (+) and the wire with black insulation is NEGATIVE (–).

Actuator/Auxiliary

Control Input

Black

This line is held at 5 V dc inside the sampler. When shorted to

ground (Pin B), a signal is sent to the microprocessor inside the

sampler causing it to “wake up” and begin or resume the sampling

program. It can be used in conjunction with a simple level float switch

to actuate the sampler when liquid id present or to take over after a

second sampler had finished its program. It may also be used with

any device (such as pH meter) which produces a dry contact output

to control the sampler in response to some user defined condition

(i.e. high or low pH); must be used in conjunction with Pin B

(ground).

Green

Normally an open circuit, this line switches to ground for 90 seconds

at the conclusion of the sampling program. Used to “wake up”

another sampler to take over sampling or to signal an operator or

datalogger upon the completion of the sampling program.

Splitter Interface

This splitter interface (Cat. No. 939) can be used if access to more than one of

the Auxiliary Receptacle functions is required simultaneously. Connecting the

interface to the 6-pin connector on the sampler provides three additional

connectors for use. Two or more interfaces may be connected in series to

allow for as many connections as desired.
